That too. Without access to the information used for policy judgements we have no means of evaluating the quality of those decisions.

"Give him a chance" they said. Well it's been a week and I'm pretty sure this president is going to turn me into a sign carrying protester.

That's interesting. I have never considered myself a very political person, but I have had more interest in first the election and now this presidency than I ever have in my life.

Closer and closer to Hitler:

"The presidential directives signed Wednesday aim to create more detention centers, add thousands of Border Patrol agents and withhold federal funds from what are known as sanctuary cities, which do not comply with federal immigration laws. One order calls for the “immediate construction of a physical wall.”"

The Bannon Coup

A conservative leader told Axios' Jonathan Swan that Reince Priebus' people were feeling like they "won November and December," having filled the White House with so many loyalists. The spin was that Reince was outmaneuvering Bannon and would be the real power source. But now it's dawning on them, as Trump makes his early moves, that maybe they spoke too soon.

White House and Hill GOP leaders are astonished by the unambiguous, far-reaching power of Steve Bannon and policy guru Stephen Miller over, well, just about everything.

They wrote the Inaugural speech and set in fast motion a series of moves to cement Trump as an America-first Nationalist.

They maneuvered to get more key allies inside the White House and positioned for top agency jobs.

They wrote many of the executive orders, sometimes with little input from others helping with the transition.

They egged on Trump to take a combative approach with the media, China, Mexico and critics.

And Bannon punctuated the week with a full-throated, Trump-pleasing bashing of the media.

So someone who enforces the law is now 'Hitler'?

This is beginning to feel like one of those movies where there is an evil conspiracy group that found a puppet to put into place so they can take over the country and rule with an iron fist. Wait, is the Trump administration C.O.B.R.A.?!

I feel like at any moment some super weaponized satellite is going to destroy some foreign city as a "lesson" to the rest of the world.

It's a cycle. Economic inequality, populism, nationalism, authoritarianism, isolationism, and war or revolution.

Funny how people are only concerned about the use of misogynistic language when its targeted against a woman they perceive as being on their side.
I don't agree with you much but I agree wholeheartedly here.

Steve Bannon wrote:"The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for awhile,"
"I want you to quote this, the media here is the opposition party. They don't understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States."
This was said by him on Wednesday...

I hate him so much. This attitude is just obnoxious. Like they dont realize how small the voting population of the country actually is and also dont give a shit they lost that popular vote by 3 million fucking people.
